In the early days of his administration, Trump has intensified efforts to dismantle environmental regulations, surprising even seasoned observers of his previous term. His EPA is targeting critical protections, and major land and water bodies are being opened for industrial use. Despite anticipated legal challenges, the administration's actions endanger public health and the climate at large, while highlighting the urgent need for the U.S. to cut emissions in light of ongoing environmental degradation and climate change effects that threaten both people and nature.
Trump's administration's first 100 days has resulted in a surprising and aggressive rollback of environmental protections, operating under the 'drill, baby, drill' mantra.
The Environmental Protection Agency is working to repeal life-saving regulations, while the Department of the Interior attempts to shrink national monuments, increasing risks to public health.
Legal actions may impede deregulation efforts, even as the urgency to meet climate goals grows amidst worsening public health and environmental degradation.
Experts warn that the erosion of regulatory systems under the current administration will continue to escalate, leading to more significant environmental challenges.
